The 70 Best Raw Food recipes of The Rawfoodfamily
written by Anna Rodgers of
http://blog.missecoglam.com
I wanted to tell you about this fabulous new raw ebook I have been reading and making delicious meals from!
The Raw Food Family are a family of 5 (with one on the way!) who I find very fascinating!
I can’t help but wish I was a part of their family because they are living the type of life I dream of.
They are living and breathing health in every way shape and form, immersing themselves in nature, and right now are living in stunning Costa Rica.
They are surrounded by beautiful trees and breathing in clean air, drinking pure water and eating organic fruits and veges.
To me, this is how life should be for all children. To be living in a non polluted world, and learning about the beauty of nature. If you watch some of the Raw Food Families videos, you will see how happy the children are and how amazingly healthy they look. If you think a raw food diet for children is not a good idea, take a look for yourself and see, and try and tell me that the Sundance kids don’t look incredibly healthy!
The recipe book contains 70 recipes for food that would satisfy any member in the family and the kids as well!
If you are passionate about raw food or want your children to eat more of it but not sure where to start, this ebook is exactly what you need. It will inspire you to make the recipes, not just read them and think oh sounds nice, but seems too hard…..I actually feel like that with a few of my raw food books, I look at the list of ingredients and think oooo that will cost too much to make for just one meal. But with the Raw Food Families book, I feel excited, not overwhelmed.
What I absolutely love about it is the simple recipes, with minimal and common ingredients. Lots of raw food meals are amazing yes, but can take many ingredients and many hours to make things, with lots of pre- planning involved. And that means more money is to be spent on making these recipes as well. It can be, very very overwhelming, but not so with this ebook! I am very impressed and it is a book I go to regularly for cheap easy ideas for meals.
Katie and Ka Sundance, aka mum and dad of the raw food family, have tested out these recipes on their kids and have been given the thumbs up! It can be quite hard to get children to eat raw food, it has to look amazing and exciting to them.
There are fun and easy recipes for:
- Smoothies
-Milks
-Green juices
-Breakfast
-Lunch
-Superfood recipes
-Easter/spring
-Christmas
-Birthday/ parties
-Back to nature recipes
-More than 70 easy to make fun raw food recipes with high nutritional value
-Creative recipes with great taste and appearance for picky eaters
-Special chapters for seasonal events (like Easter, Christmas and birthdays)
-Beautiful pictures of most of the recipes
-Additional information on the raw superfoods you need to add to your family’s diet
-Superfood recipes
-The best juice and smoothie recipes for children
-Print out option for easy at home reproduction
-FREE Bonus: More than 4 hours of online raw food recipe shows with our kids!
This the first recipe I tried is already a favorite of mine -Raw Broccoli Burgers! I also made a yummy mango salad with rose petals from my garden, (pictured above).
They were absolutely delicious and I made enough to have more the next day as well. I made a wrap and put the burgers inside like a felafel wrap. They were so yummy and easy to make. You would probably have these ingredients in your fridge anyway. And, they didn’t need to be dehydrated too much, in fact, I made the patties smaller than a normal burger would be and found that they only need a few hours in the dehydrator. This is a recipe that has become a favorite of mine and even pleased the husband!
The book is divided up into sections. Ka and Katie both talk about their experience with raw, how it began etc. It all started whe one of their children, Jano, was quite sick at the age of one with severe asthma. Ka began to question, is this normal and decided no it was not and that having Jaro on an inhaler many times the day was NOT what they wanted for their child. Ka read a book called, ‘When you want to be healthy, forget about cooking’ and found that this was something the whole family would try! It has completely turned their lives around for the best.
In the book, there is advice on what items you may need to start your raw kitchen with (don’t worry its minimal things)
There are so many other things that I want to make and I bet you will too!
These are some of the types of recipes: Coconut milkshake, Banana and Spinach Smoothie, Recipes for different nut and seed milks, Green Juices, breakfast things like mueslis, pancakes (these sound amazing – Carob-coconut with pear sauce!), Applesauce with cinnamon, sesame dream cream (yum and super easy to make). Lunch ideas – Avocado dream cream, Coconut curry, Ketchup, Mashed ‘potatoes’, Pea Soup, Macadamia-Pepper Cheese, Salad Kebabs, Kale Salad, Kale Chips. Plenty of Dip recipes such as Tahini Mayonaise, Vegie Tractors, Sunflower Dip, Beetroot and Spring Dip. Super food Recipes, Carob and Chocolate recipes. Easter Recipes – Fairy Spring Salad, Melon Bees and Easter Bunnies. Christmas Recipes – cookies, cakes, spiced fruit cake. And a whole chapter on foods for parties and birthdays! Igloo cake, Carob Muffins, Pink Cookies, etc etc. And what I loved is the chapter dedicated to making food from things in your own garden. For example, Nettles, Bishops Weed, chickweed. And, would you believe, much more! There are plenty of coloured pictures as well to get you keen to get started!
I definitely rate this as one of my all time favorite raw books because it is so easy to follow with the recipes not costing an arm and a leg.
What is also included are some links to videos that Ka has made with other health related topics such as: â€how they let go of europe and moved to Costa Ricaâ€, How to travel to Asia with kidsâ€, an interview with raw mum Dani about pregnancy and raw food and living a life with raw kids†and an interview with two Yoga teachers in Thailand about health, love and happinessâ€.
There are also plenty of other fabulous videos showing raw recipes as well!
I really love this book and would recommend it to anyone!!
It’s priced at US $18.99 and you can download it at http://www.therawfoodfamily.com/recipes

Jaro was creating a beautiful muesli al by himself and was so proud of it! He told me to grab the camera and video him, because he wanted to share it with you. Here you can see how important raw food recipes are for the health of your children.
Kids need to have the feeling, that they are involved in the process of creating the food. This will enable them to form and build a connection to the food, But most important:
They will more likely eat it, because they have made it by themselves.

The 6 most important secrets of having healthy and happy children
There are some really simple principles about the wellbeing of our
children.
The first, and maybe most obvious one is, that you have to be as happy and balanced as possible yourself.
Children are are so perfect mirrors of ourself, and they will reflect anything we send out, back to us.
They will learn from you. They will imitate you, if you are doing good or bad. So do all the best to yourself, and your children will imitate that!
Concentrate on happy images and thoughts, fill yourself up with joy and once you are filled, you will overflow and sent it out to your loved ones!
A good way to do this, is to tap in your childs world. Share yourtime together, play funny games.
There is so much joy and happiness there, when we would only take the time and perceive it.
Children are truly wise masters in teaching happiness!
Watch them, learn from them. If we could just let them be the way they are and not disturb them in their progress, that would be the
best thing we could do, to let them become special, happy and healthy human beings!
Share living food and be a good example.
You can only be happy as a family, if you are all healthy and balanced.
Living food is the key for that. But it is the same again here. You have to show them how blissful you feel with your diet.
Dont talk to much about it. We tend to talk to much.
Sit down and enjoy a beautiful green smoothie. Do not encourage your kid to join you. Just sit and enjoy.
We promise:
Maybe not with your first, but surely after the second time you did that, your children will become curious and want taste it.
You can also watch a TV-Show of us on that topic!
http://www.therawfoodfamily.com/home/what-do-raw-kids-exactly-love-to-eat-interview-with-our-children
Share value time together.
Your children love you so much for what you are, they want to spent time with you. Do not watch TV together. Play a game, talk to each other, go outside, BE together not just physically but also mentally.
Try to make it a good time. Have fun, enjoy your time together!
If your kids go to school, do not take it to serious. There is so much stress on them in this place, so try to not make it worse.
If you talk to them, go close and meet at their level.
If you have young kids, than go on your knees to speak to them from the same level.
See and treat them as equal.
Newest research shows that even newborn babies have total develpoped senses. They fully understand what is going on with them!
Just explain if they ask you!
Let them make their own experiences. We adults talk far to much!
These were some ideas, what YOU can do to improve things, with your lovely children!
You can also watch an interview Jaro asked me to do with him. He wantede to share about how he feels about being a Rawfood child and being homeschooled.

Is ultra sound scan harmfull for babies and children?
Yes, I went for an ultra sound scan a couple of weeks ago.
I know it is not the healthiest thing to do, and it was the first and last scan I did for this pregnancy. I am not a big fan, because it is just not healthy to do it, but as I planned to have an unattended birth I wanted to make sure, that the placenta is out of it's way, and everything else was fine with my little baby.
And the other thing I wanted to make sure is, that it is just one baby. I felt so big already, a lot bigger than the last pregnancies, that I was thinking I might have twins. That would make it count 5 altogether!
But, now we now, the placenta is out of the way and will stay there and it is just one baby. Another babyboy!
The children quiet enjoy to know what sex the baby is, because now it is not just „the baby“, but we can call him by his name. Just yesterday evening the children sat around me, with their hands on my belly, saying „hello“ to the baby. Our Babyboy was kicking and playing around inside and I really felt, that he was really excited with all that attention he got.
Anyway, I found really good information on weather you should do an ultra sound scan during pregnancy or not:
Ultra sound is extremely damaging to the
health of any unborn child (fetus). The natural health community has
been warning about ultrasound for years, but mainstream medicine, which
consistently fails to recognize the harm it causes, insists ultrasound
...is perfectly safe and can't possibly harm the health of a fetus.
If ultrasound destroys sperm, why is it safe for a fetus?
